There was a goodly "soupe à la _bonne femme_"[754] Though God knows whence it came from; there was, too, A turbot for relief of those who cram, Relieved with "dindon à la Périgeux;" There also was----the sinner that I am! How shall I get this gourmand stanza through?-- "Soupe à la Beauveau," whose relief was dory, Relieved itself by pork, for greater glory.
